Abstract

Ultraviolet fiber optic phototherapy of the blood and purulent cavities in patients with acute purulent lung abscesses results in a pronounced improvement of humoral immunity expressed in a tendency of all classes of immunoglobulins toward normalization. The bacterial flora of the purulent cavities and bronchial contents is markedly eradicated.
